I pronounce it "Acqui-hire", and I've sometimes seen it spelled that way, but "acquihire" looks wrong to me in print.

ackqua-hire? Or a-choir-hire? I wish I were joking, but I've never seen the pronunciation printed anywhere.

"Acqui" as in "acquiesce", then "hire" in place of the "esce".

I can finally hear it, thank you!
